I'm a Qualified Electrican in england (Jib--- tech) have the NZ electrical regs & have current practicing licence, the regs. I took were taken in 2001 & I remember reading that these regs were new & designed to be "harmonising" with AUS regs does this mean My NZ regs are automaticaly accepted , therefore if I had a AUS work permit I could just go --and work as a electrican?

This site has an email address from which I have had helpful replies, this is the address [email protected]

I'd suggest you ask these authorities the questions as they are the ones likely to prosecute you if you work without a licence.

Good luck.
